Registration and Tuition A one-time REGISTRATION fee is charged each year at the time of enrollment for each student attending the school. This fee is NON-REFUNDABLE.After registering your child for enrollment, you are required to pay one month's tuition within 30 days of submitting the registration form or by May 1st, whichever is first. This prepaid tuition may be applied to any month during the registration school year, but you MUST indicate your preference if you desire the prepayment applied to any month other than September.

Tuition is charged on an annual basis, payable in nine equal monthly payments (even though there may be variances in the number of school days due to holidays, vacation, and/or weather) and is due on the first class day of each month. Tuition becomes delinquent if not paid by the 5th of each month, resulting in the charge of a $20.00 LATE FEE due immediately in addition to the late month's tuition.

The Trinity Lutheran Preschool Board of Directors reserves the discretionary right to drop a child from the program due to non-payment of tuition or habitual late payment of tuition.

TUITION PAYMENTS may be mailed to the school or brought in and placed in the locked tuition box located outside the Director's office. Please do not hand your tuition to anyone on staff while at school or if you should encounter them off-site: It is not their responsibility to see that your monthly tuition is deposited.
